Sustainability in Slackline \/ Highline Events: Lessons from the Choose Life Festival – World Cup Edition 2025<\/b><\/h2>\n

As adventure sports, especially slacklining and highlining events, continue to grow worldwide, organizers face an increasingly important challenge: how to create unforgettable experiences while protecting the natural environments that make these events possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Choose Life Festival \u2013 World Cup Edition 2025<\/b>, held in the stunning landscapes of Chapada dos Veadeiros, Brazil, offers a valuable case study in both the opportunities and challenges of sustainable event management.<\/p>\n

The festival brought together more than 500 athletes, volunteers, organizers, and visitors from around the world for four days of highlining, competitions, workshops, cultural activities, and community exchange. Hosting the first Highline World Cup in Latin America, the event represented a significant milestone for the global slackline community. At the same time, its location within one of Brazil\u2019s most ecologically sensitive regions made sustainability a critical consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Areas of Strength<\/b><\/h2>\n

One of the most encouraging findings was the festival\u2019s commitment to responsible waste management. Partnerships with local organizations such as <\/span>Murundu Compostagem and Cavalcante Recicla<\/b> helped create waste separation systems that encouraged attendees to sort recyclable, organic, and mixed waste.<\/span><\/p>\n

Participants recognized these efforts, making <\/span>Responsible Production and Consumption<\/b> the highest-rated sustainability category, with nearly 80% positive responses. Waste collection points were available in key areas, and many attendees actively participated in recycling initiatives. While improvements are still needed, the festival demonstrated that collaborative waste management systems can successfully engage both visitors and local organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another positive result was found in the <\/span>Health and Wellness<\/b> category. Medical support teams, first aid stations, rescue personnel, and safety infrastructure were present throughout the event. Approximately 70% of survey respondents expressed confidence in the available medical support. This reflects the organizers\u2019 strong focus on participant safety in an inherently high-risk sport environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

The festival also achieved moderate success in fostering community participation. Local volunteers, sports teams, and social initiatives contributed significantly to event operations. <\/span>Community groups<\/b> were provided space for dialogue and engagement, helping strengthen connections between the event and the surrounding region.<\/span>
